Babe in Boyland


Author's Note: This is my predicting piece and I have added what I think will happen to the love column in the school's paper and how it will affect Natalie.

Since I just started the book and I read the back cover, I already know what is going to happen. I will predict what will happen to Natalie's love column: Dr. Aphrodite. It didn't say anything about what happens to the love column on the back of the book.  It sounds like Chas and a large majority of the male student body want the column gone. This is a passage from the book that expresses this very thoroughly.

"Posted by: Shredder103- I've been reading your column ever since you started it last year, and I haven't said anything, but I've got to speak up because it's getting out of control. Every single week girls write you for advice and all you ever tell them is what they want to hear. You have no idea how guys think or feel about anything! All you're doing is helping girls at this school perpetuate their delusions about the world and how it works. Not once have you ever told them anything useful or sane from a guy's point of view. Do us all a favor and stop!" (Page 8)

I think that somebody will hack the page again like they said on page 6 and try to somehow manage to delete the website. Then, since there has to be some sort of Log-in name you need for the website, the person everyone will find out it was Natalie who was writing the page. People will keep picking on her because they know she has no love life. Why is she writing the column if she's never had a real relationship? Who does she think she is giving advice to people when she hasn't experienced the problem in her life? 

How I would end this section:

"Chas, I really don't think that--" cried Natalie. 

"No, it must be deleted. We are getting too much hate on this site. Either you take it down or someone else will," he fired.

As Natalie's day went on, it just got progressively worse... Until she got home. She logged onto her computer and went straight to the blog's site. But she couldn't log in. 

"I can't believe it," she muttered to herself, "someone actually deleted my account and the site."

She thought to herself, I wonder what they're thinking. Have they found out it was me this whole time? Oh who am I kidding, of course they know, my name was the password.
 
She sat on her bed and stared at the screen, awe-struck. Natalie had dug herself in pretty deep and didn't know how to get out. She thought again, whoever found out started the column is probably told all their friends about it...and who wrote it. ME. School is going to be horrid. Since people will know that I did it, they will pick on me for giving relationship advice when I haven't been in one...ever.

As I walked into school the next day, I got one glare after the next. Somebody knew. Actually, it seemed as though everyone knew. I just want to cry. I didn't ever mean for this website to go up in flames, I only wanted to help people and now I have turned it into a problem that didn't need to happen.
